A three-day and two-night trip to Dalian with my best friend.

Both of us have had a rough time recently, so we decided to go out for a walk. Going to Dalian is not an agreed action. This is all decided by our best friend Wang. Originally, she planned to go to Dalian for the Dragon Boat Festival, but later she came to Beijing to see me. For her trip to Beijing, I don't care where to play, it's to make up for her hard work, hahaha.

Wang has to go to work, so it is difficult to ask for leave. During the three-day holiday from June 15 to June 17, she finally got together. Based on the principle of saving time and budget, she decisively bought the plane tickets for the first morning and the third night. She started from Zhengzhou and I started from Xi 'an, and the air ticket was cheaper than mine 100. So happy ~

Before I came to Dalian, my impression of it was only a coastal city in the northeast. I have been to famous coastal cities, such as Sanya, Xiamen and Qingdao. In fact, I don't have much expectation for Dalian. Just browsing. It was this city that gave me no expectations, but a great surprise. Although I stayed for a short time, I fell in love with this place.

Our two best friends both bought air tickets after 7: 00 in the morning. She left Zhengzhou and I left Xi. At 9: 50 in the morning, we officially met and started our trip to Dalian.

Expense breakdown

Air ticket: 800 yuan/person

Hotel: 300 yuan/person (stay for two nights)

Attraction tickets: 355 yuan/person (we only went to three paid attractions, including Tiger Beach tickets+Stone Museum+fantasy experience).

Other expenses: 309 yuan/person (we spent a lot of money on meals and have been taking taxis these days. If we take public transportation, we can save a lot by eating simply.

Total cost: 1800 yuan/person.

All the pictures were taken at: iPhone.

Twitter: Dalian is a complex of northeast cities and coastal cities. I don't feel hot in summer, but I feel particularly cool in thick cardigan and pantyhose. I suggest you take a thin coat when you go to Dalian. You can wear it as a sunscreen shirt during the day, it's not hot at all, and you can keep warm at night. If possible, wear long skirts and trousers. Dalian is really cool ~

It is said to be a three-day and two-night trip. In fact, our journey started at five o'clock in the afternoon on the first day (_ _).

Because we have to catch the plane at seven in the morning, we all get up at three to leave. After arriving in Dalian, we took the airport bus for half an hour and the light rail for an hour. Finally, we arrived at our place, B&B near Jinshitan, which is equivalent to a theme hotel. Let's show you our room.

The room and the picture look similar, both very retro, lovely and warm. The effect of mixing these styles together is quite surprising, because the light in the room is a little dim, so the room itself is still very beautiful by adjusting the photos with Meitu Xiu Xiu's filter function.

We live near the Gold Coast. It costs 9 yuan to take a taxi. We got up so early in the morning that we struggled all morning to reach our destination. We agreed to have a rest and wake up after five o'clock in the afternoon. ω? )! Get up quickly and go out to play by the sea ~

The golden coast of Golden Stone Beach is particularly beautiful, and more importantly, there are few people. Unlike other coastal cities, there are no people everywhere. When we arrive at the seaside at five or six in the afternoon, it is very enjoyable to take a picture of the sea view here. After the shooting, we can make a circle simply by adjusting the color with our mobile phone, without post-processing the people around us. This is great. I remember that when I was in Sanya in February, the bustling crowd on the beach of Yalong Bay was completely in no mood to take pictures.

It's so cool to take pictures at the seaside with few people ~

After shopping for two hours, it was already late at night, the sea breeze was chilly and a little cold, and our stomachs began to protest, so we decided to leave the beach and go foraging ~

The first day of coming to Dalian is here ~

In view of the painful lesson of staying in the hotel during the trip to Beijing, we should seriously play Dalian this time, plan the route early in the morning, and visit Jinshi Culture Expo Square, Address Museum, Kistler Museum, Fantasy Experience Center, Wax Museum and so on. They are all here. If you have enough time, you can buy tickets to play here for a long time, and buy about 160 yuan on the US delegation. We specially called to ask, without advance.

(Note: Tour groups only have consecutive tickets. You need to go to the scenic spot to pay a ticket for a scenic spot, and the price is around 20- 100. )

Because the two of us were anxious to meet our friends, we had to go to the scene to buy tickets separately. We bought tickets for the Stone Museum and the Fantasy Experience Museum.

Kistler Museum: 20 yuan/person

Fantasy Experience Hall: 60 yuan/People Peak Season

Off-season 50 yuan/person

First stop, Stone Museum.

Why do you want to come to the Stone Museum? Because of the limited time, we found this when we checked the introduction of various scenic spots.

"The stone in Golden Beach is more precious than gold, because it is unique in China and extremely rare in the world, and the earth is non-renewable. This is the consensus of geologists. Jinshitan is called "Kistler Garden". Large areas of pink reefs and golden stones, like huge flowers, are called rose garden and stone garden respectively.

Seeing a certain degree of introduction, the two of us resolutely decided to go here. It is the capital of stones, and there are many stones with unique shapes, such as "meat stones". A shiny face is really like a piece of fat. Haha, you can also see many high-value stones, pink, shiny and beautiful.

The second stop is the Fantasy Art Experience Hall.

Originally thought to be a science fiction experience center, it was actually a place for people to take pictures. It is quite large, with three floors and filled with more than 100 magical oil paintings. It is divided into seven fantasy venues, including the Famous Painting Pavilion, the Life Illusion Pavilion, the Greek-Roman Egyptian Pavilion, the Dinosaur Aquarium, the China Pavilion, the World Pavilion and the Korean Pavilion. There is a photo location description in front of each painting, and there are photo action demonstration pictures on the left and right sides of each painting. It's a great arrangement to take good-looking photos without knowing how to pose.

All kinds of cosplay, god crossing and so on are quite fun. If you have nothing to do, you can come here to take photos and relax, but unfortunately, when I went today, I happened to meet a group of primary school students who were conducting popular science education activities. You have to race against time to take pictures on every floor, and you have to finish them before they fall, which makes you nervous, hahaha.

It's almost twelve o'clock after turning the corner. I decided to go to the next hotel after dinner. Just out of the light rail, I saw an IKEA at the door. They went there like crazy until three o'clock (").

Third stop Xinghai Square

After resting in the hotel for two hours, I decided to go to Xinghai Square, the largest square in Asia. Here, my fascination with Dalian has deepened. The huge square, scattered European buildings, passers-by passing by in twos and threes, tourists who can't see this kind of long guns and short guns, only people who live here.

Perhaps because of the evening, a thin layer of fog rose over the city. The later the time, the thicker the fog. When we reached the river bank, we couldn't see the other side of the Qinghe River, only the neon lights in the distance flashed dimly at night.

Walking on the way to Xinghai Square, I saw a pointed roof and a castle-like building looming in the fog. Suddenly, the two girls' hearts were flooded and they screamed. They ran towards the building. When they arrived, it turned out to be a castle-shaped hotel. I checked the internal structure on the Internet, and it is really a palace-style building. If the hotel where they stayed at night had not been booked, those two impulsive people would have rushed there immediately ~

When we really walked into the interior of Xinghai Square, night had fallen. Xinghai Square in the evening is very lively because of colorful amusement parks. The amusement equipment under the colored lights at night is more romantic than during the day. We two older children lost control in this romantic atmosphere and rushed to the carousel at once? , began the happiest moment of our day.

Even in summer, the night in Dalian is still chilly, so you must put on your coat when you go out for a walk at night, or you may cry and grab the ground when you go back at night ~

Day 3 Laohutan Ocean Park

After checking out in the morning, we went directly to Laohutan Ocean Park as the last stop of our trip to Dalian. We lived in Xinghai Square the night before, and Didi Express was around 24 yuan. There is a little traffic jam on the road, so there will be less traffic jams.

Laohutan Ocean Park needs to buy a ticket to visit. Tickets for Ocean Park+Aerial Ropeway bought by the US delegation are 255 yuan per person.

Note: you need to buy tickets in the tour group two hours in advance. You must buy it before you leave. It's almost enough to eat a meal when we arrive. Because the machine scans the code and checks the tickets, the time card is very strict. Be sure to enter the park at the specified time. Neither of us can check in a few minutes in advance, so we can only wait until a certain time to brush our tickets.

The first stop is Coral Pavilion.

The magical underwater world, these corals and jellyfish are so beautiful ~

In fact, there are several colors of lampposts that change color with the scenery, and there are many people. In a hurry, I only took two colors ~

Called Ocean Park, it is actually a comprehensive amusement park integrating underwater world, amusement park and beach. The color of this merry-go-round and flying car is so beautiful that I can't help taking pictures ~

This beach is Tiger Beach. It's too small to get along with other beaches in Dalian. There are not many people playing here. Ok, there are other projects to play here. You can forgive me if you are young ~ You can take an aerial ropeway at sea and enjoy the bird forest on the opposite mountain ~

Tucao time: it takes a steep flight of stairs to get to the entrance of the aerial ropeway. On the last day, we were exhausted by poor physical strength ~

When I came back by cableway, the sea view of Tiger Beach I photographed before I came down was still very wide, and the other mountains looked very short under the sky. ~

Note: You can buy a one-way ropeway or a round-trip ropeway. After visiting the Bird Language Forest, there is a one-way ticket exit, and walk 15 minutes to the main entrance. We can't buy a one-way ticket from the American delegation. We have to go to the scenic spot to buy!

I came out of the Bird's Language Forest by aerial ropeway and accidentally broke into a place similar to a hotel. The smiling chairs here are really interesting. Take a picture ~

It's almost time to go to the airport after the ropeway comes down. See you in Dalian!
